<p>This function opens the Windows property sheets for the file or group of 
selected files.&nbsp; Property sheets may vary, depending on your configuration, 
and whether additional utilities are installed, but in general should show 
information such as:</p>
<ul>
  <li><b>Type of file:</b> as recognized by Windows, eg. <i>Text document</i> 
  (.txt), <i>PNG image</i> (.png), etc.</li>
  <li><b>Opens with:</b> an application associated with the file, if any</li>
  <li><b>Location:</b> folder containing the file</li>
  <li><b>Size:</b> and <b>Size on disk:</b> actual file size (of contents, if 
  folder is selected) and disk space used</li>
  <li><b>Contains:</b> number of files and folders contained in a folder (if a 
  single folder is selected only)</li>
  <li><a href="set_file_attr.htm">File attributes</a> currently applied</li>
  <li><b>Security</b> settings and permissions (NTFS only - may not be shown, 
  depending on system settings)</li>
  <li>File <b>Summary:</b> comments, if any assigned to the file by the user or 
  an application (NTFS only)</li>
  <li><b>Customize:</b> allows you to change certain properties (eg. image, 
  icon) of a folder or group of folders</li>
</ul>
<p>Utilities such as
<a class="EXTlnk" title="http://beeblebrox.org/" target="_blank" href="http://beeblebrox.org/">
Hashtab</a> (which displays <i>hashes </i>for the file, such as CRC32 and MD5) 
may introduce additional property sheets.</p>
<p>If multiple files are selected, many of the same properties are shown, 
including <b>Size:</b> and <b>Size on disk:</b>, which now refer to the 
collective size of all the files selected.</p>
<p>The <b>Properties</b> function is also available as part of the context (ie. 
right-click) menu in the folder or files panes.</p>
